A meditation, a sad, but hopeful love letter, a spirited trek.

Illustrjoan_small This piece is a meditation, a sad, but hopeful love letter, a spirited trek, an evoking of the weariness of living in a series of waterless cities. But it also inquires about the movement of an artist's creative process and comes to the realization that geographic and emotional journeys mirror the output of one's own artwork. Richly written and quietly spoken, the story unfolds in a seamless manner across the audio spectrum, which includes sounds of deep desert winds, a wind harp, keys tossed into a tub and the static of a floor heater. The piece can air alone or as part of "Travels in Stasis." Suggested airplay order: 1. Nomad 2. Ghost 3. Exile 4. Memory 5. Walking

Illustrjoan_small A raw, narrative experiment follows the true story of one man's migration from a little town in Mexico to the mean streets of the urban US Southwest. A fictionalized recreation of a man speaking confusedly in two languages about his travels reveals a bigger picture of movement and stasis when the trek is both psychological and geographic. Air alone or as full series, "Travels in Stasis." Suggested airplay order: 1. Nomad 2. Ghost 3. Exile 4. Memory 5. Walking
